Also this boat is just a toy, some waking boarding behind it as well as a tow swan (Swaney) lol. I have a pontoon that we cruise when it's family

Thanks Trb, it's still Rh also it's a late 302 roller block. Scat balanced assembly,11.1 comp, custom comp roller cam 558 lift 112lsa, procomp heads with 5 angle valve job, cnc ported, OG boss 302 ported intake man, Og Barry Grant 825 carb with blue cones, ported Hmm aluminum exhaust. Made best power between 5800-6200, yes I know it's not a typical 44-4800 marine engine, but I like fast point A to B racing

Tyrone,
How about posting some pictures. I know I'd love to see some and sure others would too. Tim brought up engine rotation but I too am curious. What rotation did you build?

There are others here with 302 stroker experience in the 16’ hull. Reid has been running a pretty hot 347 in his 73 mustang for many years. I’ve got a 331 in my ‘71 Skier. Billy’s was a 331 too, btw… and he really liked a 13” diameter OJ 4-blade IIRC… which I would wholeheartedly NOT recommend for safety reasons.
12x15 OJ legend 3-blade and Acme 1214 would go to the top of the list. I would like to see some specs on how you squeaked 450hp out of a RH 302 based engine without pushing the powerband away from the useful marine range and into the auto range. If you’ve got a really wild cam and/or a lefty in there, all bets are off. |

I don't want to put words in TRB's mouth but I seem to recall he has stated that an Acme's rake keeps the prop away from the hull ? Maybe he will see this and comment

Wow oh wow, thanks Keno! That lead to so many links of good info. Think I'll stick with my 12x15 for the moment, from all I've read it came with a slightly larger pitch being the moody 302 was a 235hp/9.5comp motor. I spoke with acme and they suggested a 13x13 but I don't have clearance for it, I've only got 7/8 with current prop

You could click on the link below to get some reading on boat dr's boat.

It was a 331 in a 64 American Skier Sorta like comparing a Macintosh apple to a Gala apple.  You'll find quite a bit of reading and some prop discussion too at times. |

Larry, It's been two years since Billy has formally signed in but, I do know he still visits looking at the parts forum sections. Yes, hopefully he will connect. The other possible way is via Facebook.

Hopefully you get through but not optimistic. Billy hasnt been on here is about 3 years. This is going way back but last email I had for him was hobiedr@bellsouth.net.

That's awesome to hear, I sent him a message with detail on what I wanted to achieve. Really excited about this setup, I had ran the worn out hmm 302 last couple years just really enjoying the boat. But it was so bad that when we started to pull motor apart we quickly seen the timing chain was so stretched in surprise it hadn't came off lol not to mention the motor was locked up when first bought, nothing marvel mystery old didn't fix 😉

Tyrone,
I've had the pleasure of driving Billy's stroker and trust me, his Mustang has plenty of hole shot!

Tyrone,
Send a PM or email to Billy asking him what he's running on his Mustang with a stroker. Welcome to CCfan.
